Uninterested in the first two downloadable content packs for BioShock 2 because you don't play multiplayer? 2K Games has announced today that it's bringing new single-player content to the game in the form of "Protector Trials." The pack will be available on August 3 for 400 MS Points for Xbox 360, or $4.99 for PlayStation 3.
On paper, it sounds a bit like a single-player "Horde Mode" -- as a Big Daddy, players will defend a Little Sister from swarms of Splicers. The pack will include six new maps, along with new unlockables like concept art and videos. If you're looking for a little more incentive, "Protector Trials" also features seven new Achievements/Trophies.
Not what you had in mind? 2K president Christoph Harmann says this is only the beginning, and that more single-player DLC is on the way that "will deliver more of the intense action and story-driven gameplay that fans have been craving."

I had thought the same thing. He may be talking about future DLC. This is clearly not story-driven.
In other words they learned that multi-player was a bad idea and that it's better to gouge than to make better sequels?
derp
At least it's not already on the disc and only costs 5 bucks.
Wasn't this, like, you know, THE WHOLE GAME?!
I thought the same thing, but if you look closer you can see it's the drill... on some sort of super mutant drill steroids.
As much as I liked BioShock 2, I don't think a Horde-esque mode really fits. Splicers are fun to kill and all, but the thing that makes Horde/Firefight/Survival/etc. fun is that the enemies are different every round, and I don't think there are enough different kinds of splicers to make this interesting for very long.
The multiplayer is fine, but it's not fucking fantastic, that's for sure.
However, I was story content, not this.
For a "limited edition" secret city under the ocean that's undergone a massive, bloody, civil war, the idea of there being enough Splicers left for a Horde mode baffles me. ^_^
